Harmeet questioned by BCCI's ACSU chief

Former India U-19 and Rajasthan left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh appeared before the BCCI's anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU) chief, Ravi Sawani and was questioned for close to one and a half hours in the ongoing spot-fixing probe. Harmeet had recently told the Delhi Police that his teammate Ajit Chandila had approached him with bookies to indulge in spot-fixing but had reportedly refused the offer.

A top BCCI official confirmed that the left-arm spinner was questioned by Sawani for over an hour regarding his meetings with bookies during the sixth edition of the Indian T20 League. Sawani, who has been appointed by the BCCI as the commissioner of inquiry to probe spot-fixing allegations involving the Rajasthan players, will submit his findings to the disciplinary committee which will send its recommendations to the working committee that will announce the final verdict.

The official added that inquiry process is almost over with only Chandila, who is still in police custody, remaining to be questioned. "The process is over but Ajit Chandila is still inside the jail, so the ACSU is waiting for him to be released on bail before questioning him," the official said.
